NURTURING NATURE


Aranyani is the Goddess of the forest and the mother and The Protector of the animals in the forest, whose name comes from the word ‘Aranya’ meaning forest in Sanskrit. The forests have always been at the centre of the Indian civilization. As we all know, that the evolution of the civilizations started from the forest and, our Vedas tell us that this culture of forest or the Aranya Sanskriti was a result of conscious choice and not imposed due to the primitiveness. Due to this choice, the humankind was connected to the Mother Nature and our Vedas mention about the learnings from the study of forest. But, as the evolution progressed, and urbanization started, we started moving away from the forest and the nature so much that we began destroying forest to bring up large concrete structures. Thus, began the era of self-destruction of the mankind. प्रकृति; रक्षति रक्षिता- If you protect the nature, the nature would protect you; but we were determined to destroy our own protector! Therefore, the green clean promise got broken. As a result, we are all locked up inside our houses. It is high time for us to stop mishandling with our environment and possibly take a U- turn back towards our forest. I clearly understand rebuilding isn't easy but so was destruction. As they say, realisation of a mistake is a critical point and the last opportunity for correction of the same. We must make a fresh promise to the aranyani to start rebuilding the green and clean forest. Thus, returning her Kingdom back to her. Ladies and gentlemen, I solicit your promise, cooperation and participation in spreading awareness about reforestation. For years we have been talking about the ill effects of deforestation which did not really help. It is our moral duty to start spreading awareness about reforestation using any mode. I request your virtual participation through your respective social media accounts as well.
Namo Aranyani
